The Knicks have now reeled off 5 straight wins after falling to 7th place in the East with a 35-38 record during mid March. Thing's have taken a turn for the better though as the Knicks have now won 5 straight and regained the 6th spot after beating Philly 97-92 last night.
They also clinched a postseason birth for the first time since 2004. Which means playoff basketball will return to Madison Square Garden.
After all the years of Isiah Thomas, Stephon Marbury, rebuilding, losing, losing, losing, and more losing, the Knicks have finally rewarded their fans with an above .500 record and a chance to make a playoff run.
Congratulate the unsung heroes though, Danillo Gallinari and Wilson Chandler. Despite being in Denver now they helped the Knicks for most of the season while also being the trade bait to land Carmelo as well as a championship. With 4 games left, playoff breakdowns await us.
0-5, I know the Red Sox still have 157 games left to play, but come on...0-5. With a Sox loss tonight the Red Sox could fall to 0-9 by Monday with Yankees coming to Fenway this weekend.
The Problem, Starting pitchers for the Sox haven't exactly dominated, nor have they had timely hitting.
Carl Crawford was supposed to be the spark, but he appears to be... spark-less.
The good news, Its April, the Rays are also 0-5.
If your a Red Sox fan are you concerned yet? John Lackey and Josh Beckett have been total duds the last two seasons including the start of this one, and they're stuck with them for 4 years. With half a rotation and a sub par/almost terrible bullpen, the Sox could be in trouble.
Step down from the ledge though and revisit at the end of May, only then can you have a fair gauge on all 30 Mlb teams.
As Yankee supporters though, we're loving it :)
